Encourage 2.5 days of flexible rest to stimulate consumption experts to evaluate this.

  With the epidemic under control, the passenger flow in Taikooli, Chengdu slowly resumed photography.

  "Encourage the implementation of a flexible working system of 4.5 days a week and 2.5 days on weekends." Since March, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places have taken measures to actively guide cadres and workers to go out for leisure holidays on weekends, in order to boost consumption, promote economic growth and reduce the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on the economy.

  On March 25th, Wang Qiyan, a professor at Renmin University of China and director of China Leisure Economy Research Center, said in an interview with Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star News reporter that the income of employees in government agencies, enterprises and institutions is relatively stable, and the flexible working system is pioneered by this group. It is undoubtedly a feasible practice to promote consumption and drive a wider range of consumer groups by increasing the supply of time. Su Hainan, a special researcher in china association for labour studies, is more cautious. He said that the first thing to do to resume production at present is to ensure safety and prevent the epidemic from rebounding.

  Five years ago, a 2.5-day weekly holiday was introduced.

  But the implementation effect is not ideal.

  On March 19th, Jiangxi Provincial People’s Government issued "About laying a good ‘ Combination boxing ’ Notice to boost tourism consumption. " It is mentioned that all localities and units should optimize their work arrangements according to the actual situation. In the second quarter of this year, they will try out 2.5 days of flexible work and rest on weekends and actively guide cadres and workers to go out for leisure and vacation on weekends. The working hours reduced by flexible work and rest can be compensated by extending the length of other working days.

  Recently, the "Implementation Opinions of the General Office of the People’s Government of Zhejiang Province on Boosting Consumption and Promoting Stable Economic Growth" issued by Zhejiang Province mentioned that it encourages the implementation of a 4.5-day flexible working week and supports qualified organs, social organizations, enterprises and institutions to implement the paid vacation system.

  In fact, encouraging the implementation of flexible working system is nothing new. In the Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Further Promoting Tourism Investment and Consumption issued in August 2015, it is mentioned that flexible work and rest are encouraged, and places and units with conditions can optimize and adjust summer work and rest arrangements according to the actual situation, creating favorable conditions for employees to go out for leisure and vacation on Friday afternoons and weekends. Since then, more than 10 provinces, including Hebei and Chongqing, have issued opinions to encourage flexible work and rest for 2.5 days, but after five years, the implementation effect is not ideal.

  Why is it difficult to implement?

  Experts say that labor efficiency is relatively low.

  The reason is that Wang Qiyan, a professor at China Renmin University and director of China Leisure Economy Research Center, believes that in the final analysis, the labor efficiency is relatively low.

  Regarding the voice on the Internet that "two weekends are difficult to implement, not to mention flexible working system", Wang Qiyan believes that if society wants to make progress, there will always be some people who have to sacrifice, such as those who stand at the forefront of science and technology. There are still some groups, because of the characteristics of the industry or the particularity of the occupation, who can’t reach the average rest standard, which is also a reality.

  4.5-day flexible working system

  How much effect does it have on stimulating consumption?

  From the perspective of stimulating consumption, Su Hainan thinks that the effect is not necessarily great.

  He said that industries with relatively high wages and relatively stable incomes are willing to spend if they are given more rest time under safe circumstances. But for many employees of small and medium-sized enterprises, especially migrant workers, the first consideration may not be how to spend, but how to earn money quickly and maintain a normal life.

  Su Hainan suggested that consumption should be gradually restored while ensuring safety. In the process of restoring consumption, people must be isolated according to the relevant requirements and regulations of epidemic prevention, and retaliatory consumption in crowded places is not advocated, because there are still risks. "Don’t look at the possibility that the turnover has come up, but if there is another infection in Covid-19, it will be terrible."

Iii. Risks faced by the Company and Countermeasures

1. Risk of policy change

With the sustained and rapid development of China’s economy, the demand for residents’ life and travel is increasing day by day, and the smart transportation industry has developed rapidly. Since the State Council’s "Government Work Report" in 2019 proposed that the provincial toll stations of national expressways should be basically abolished within two years to realize fast toll collection without stopping, the State Council, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Transport have successively issued a series of policies to encourage the related construction of non-stop toll collection, creating a good environment for the rapid and healthy development of enterprises in the industry.

Although the medium-and long-term planning of the country has clearly focused on the development of the intelligent transportation industry, and the supporting policy of the country for non-stop charging has a strong practical basis and social needs for a long time, if the government’s supporting policies for intelligent transportation related fields, especially ETC technical routes, are adjusted or the pace of implementation is uncertain in the future, the company’s operating performance will be affected to some extent.

In view of the above risks, the company will pay close attention to policy changes, strengthen strategic layout, optimize business structure, increase R&D investment and scientific and technological innovation, actively expand new commercial application fields and business models, enhance the company’s anti-risk ability and sustainable development ability, and maintain its leading position in the industry.

2. Industry competition intensifies risks.

As one of the important fields of intelligent transportation, ETC industry is becoming more and more market-oriented, and the market competition pattern is in a stage of rapid change. At present, the company is the only authorized ETC issuer in Jiangsu Province. Although it has established a perfect online distribution channel and can realize nationwide ETC issuance, it has not yet established an offline ETC issuance service network outside Jiangsu Province. Due to factors such as local car owners’ habit of choosing to handle ETC business in their permanent residence, there is still great competitive pressure for the company to handle ETC issuance business outside Jiangsu Province. If there are major changes in the future industry policies, industry norms and market competition pattern, the company’s ETC issuance and sales market share is at risk of being seized by competitors.

In the field of intelligent transportation business, although the company took the lead in developing a series of products such as cloud control platforms in the industry, which have the first-Mover advantages in products and services and have a high market share, on the one hand, there are companies engaged in similar businesses in all provinces, which have certain market resources and regional service advantages in the local area. In the future, with the improvement of technology and service capabilities of such companies, the company will face greater market competition when further exploring the national business market; On the other hand, the relatively high profit margin of the smart transportation industry also attracts other enterprises to enter the industry through infiltration, merger and reorganization, industrial transformation, etc., and there is a risk of intensified competition in the industry in the future.

In view of the above risks, the company will seize the strategic opportunity of digital economy countries, strengthen industry research and market insight, use the deep understanding of smart transportation industry and business, improve the accuracy of understanding user needs and the foresight of market trends, give play to the advantages of technological innovation, enrich product development matrix, and provide customers with all-round solutions; Improve the marketing promotion system, vigorously expand the national product market, expand brand influence, consolidate and increase market share, and enhance market comprehensive competitiveness; Strengthen industry exchanges and technical cooperation, actively build a diversified ecosystem of partners, and build a "moat" with continuous R&D and innovation capabilities.

3, technology update risk

The development of intelligent transportation industry needs to effectively integrate advanced information technology, data communication and transmission technology, electronic sensing technology, electronic control technology and computer processing technology on the basis of perfect infrastructure, so as to establish a real-time, accurate and efficient intelligent transportation operation and management system that plays a role in a wide range and in all directions. This industry has the characteristics of fast technology update. If the company can’t accurately grasp the technology development trend of the industry and follow up the direction of technology research and development in the future, or the speed of product research and development can’t match the demand of the industry and competent departments for technology update, the company’s market competitiveness and sustainable development will be adversely affected.

In view of the above risks, the company will pay close attention to the dynamic development of technologies in emerging fields, dynamically optimize and adjust the technology planning and research and development direction of new technologies according to the changes in market demand and technology development, strictly manage the research and development and application process, and strengthen the collaborative development workflow of technologies and products; At the same time, the company will continue to increase investment in R&D, strengthen the construction of technical personnel, introduce outstanding technical personnel and integrate internal R&D forces, improve the incentive mechanism for R&D personnel, actively promote the transformation of technological R&D achievements, maintain the overall leading edge of technical teams, and consolidate the leading position in the industry in major business-related technologies.

China speeds up legislation to break the chronic diseases of drugs, vaccines and "medical troubles"

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 27th Title: Eliminate the pain of medication, the worry of vaccine and the trouble of "medical trouble" — — China speeds up medical and health legislation to "prescribe medicine" for chronic medical problems.

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Tian Xiaohang

  The problem vaccine cases are shocking. Fake drugs and high-priced drugs make patients look forward to "medicine", and frequent "medical troubles" hurt "doctors" and "patients". In order to get rid of these persistent medical problems, the draft law on basic medical care and health promotion, which was submitted to the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) for the second review a few days ago, puts forward that the personal safety and personal dignity of medical and health personnel should not be violated, a whole-course drug traceability system should be established, and a planned vaccination system &hellip should be implemented; … Safeguarding the rights and interests of doctors and patients with the rigid constraints of law.

  Crack down on "medical trouble": the practice place of medical and health institutions is a public place.

  On September 22nd, three obstetricians and gynecologists in Peking University First Hospital, including He Yingdong, were beaten by the patients’ families while on duty, and the problem of "medical trouble" was once again pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

  According to the White Paper on Physicians’ Practice in China released by the Chinese Medical Doctor Association in early 2018, only 34% of physicians have never personally experienced violent medical injuries. In recent years, from "medical trouble being punished" to multi-department joint punishment, the state has frequently cracked down on "medical trouble", but it is still difficult to eliminate the phenomenon of violent injury to doctors.

  The second draft of the draft law on basic medical care and health promotion proposes that the personal safety and personal dignity of medical and health personnel are inviolable and their legitimate rights and interests are protected by law. The practice place of medical and health institutions is a public place providing medical and health services, and no organization or individual may disturb its order.

  "In order to maintain the normal medical order and the professional rights and interests of medical and health personnel, and ensure that patients have a good medical environment and medical rights, it is necessary and urgent to clarify the legal attributes of medical and health institutions." Deng Yong, an associate professor in the Department of Law of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, believes that defining the practice places of medical and health institutions as public places is conducive to the better connection between the law and the punishment law for public security administration, and the public security organs can enforce the law more effectively to crack down on "medical troubles" according to law.

  To reduce violent injuries to doctors, in addition to protecting the rights and interests of medical and health personnel, it is necessary to reduce the contradiction between doctors and patients in a multi-pronged manner to prevent problems before they occur.

  Protect the rights and interests of patients. The second draft of the draft puts forward that citizens have the right to informed consent on matters related to illness, diagnosis and treatment plan, medical risks, medical expenses and so on when receiving medical and health services. Citizens have the right to voluntarily participate in clinical trials of drugs and medical devices and other experimental medical research according to law and enjoy informed consent.

  Strengthen the management of medical institutions. The second draft of the draft proposes that the state should establish a medical dispute prevention and handling mechanism to properly handle medical disputes and maintain medical order. Medical and health industry organizations and medical and health institutions shall strengthen the education of medical ethics for medical and health personnel. Medical and health personnel shall not take advantage of their positions to ask for, illegally accept property or seek other illegitimate interests.

  "It is necessary to really get rid of profit-seeking factors such as taking medicine to support doctors, over-medical treatment, over-examination and setting income-generating indicators for hospitals, so that public medical care can return to public welfare." Deng Yong said that the fundamental solution to the problem of "medical troubles" depends on continuously deepening the reform of the medical and health system, effectively solving the problems of difficulty and high cost of medical treatment, and improving the salary and treatment of medical and health personnel and patients’ medical experience.

  Let the masses use the rest assured drugs: establish the whole process traceability system of drugs

  Selling more than 30 kinds of fake anticancer drugs to 30 provinces in China, a box of drugs can make a maximum profit of 10 thousand yuan, and the amount involved exceeds 10 million yuan … … A huge case of manufacturing and selling counterfeit drugs in Shenzhen exposed the defects in the field of drug quality and safety supervision in China.

  In order to let the people use the rest assured drugs, the second draft of the Basic Medical Care and Health Promotion Law has a special chapter, which makes detailed provisions on the related issues of "drug supply guarantee".

  It is clear from the second draft that the state will improve the supply capacity of essential drugs, strengthen the quality and safety supervision of essential drugs, and ensure the fair, accessible and rational use of essential drugs. The state improves the drug supply guarantee system, establishes a coordination mechanism for drug guarantee, and coordinates the research and development, production, circulation, use, evaluation and supervision of drugs to ensure the safety, effectiveness and accessibility of drug use by citizens.

  Enterprises produce "medicine for conscience" and pharmacies don’t sell "medicine for black heart", so people can use "medicine for rest assured". The risk of drug quality and safety exists in the whole life cycle of drug research and development, production, circulation, management and use. To this end, the second draft of the draft proposes that the state should strengthen the management of drugs and establish a whole-course traceability system for drugs to ensure the quality and safety of drugs.

  "The whole process of traceability can realize that the source of drugs can be traced, the destination can be traced, and the responsibility can be investigated." Yan Jianzhou, a project researcher at the National Drug Policy and Pharmaceutical Industry Economic Research Center of China Pharmaceutical University, said that in the event of drug quality and safety problems, the whole traceability system can also control the scope of influence, recall related products, find out the reasons in time, and protect the rights and interests of the people.

  The phenomenon of winning the bid at ultra-low price in the bidding of essential drugs also brings hidden dangers to the quality of drugs. Experts generally believe that this kind of behavior seriously affects the normal supply of clinical drugs and has a greater degree of social harm. Therefore, we should increase the punishment and increase the illegal cost.

  To this end, the second draft of the draft clearly States that the state strengthens the supervision and management of centralized drug procurement, and bidders participating in drug procurement bidding shall not bid at a price lower than the cost. The second draft review also strengthened the legal responsibility of bidders who participated in drug procurement bidding at a price below the cost in violation of the law.

  In recent years, there are frequent local and structural shortages of clinically necessary drugs such as protamine and mitomycin. How to eliminate the pain of "waiting for medicine to save lives"

  The second draft of the draft proposes that the state publishes the list of essential drugs, and dynamically adjusts the list of essential drugs according to the clinical application practice of drugs, changes in drug standards, and the new listing of drugs.

  "Dynamic adjustment can make the newly approved drugs with significantly improved efficacy and reasonable price enter the catalogue in time to ensure the accessibility of patients." Yan Jianzhou said that drugs whose clinical effects no longer have comparative advantages or have quality and safety problems can also be transferred out of the catalogue in time through dynamic adjustment, so that the safety of patients’ medication is guaranteed.

  Resolving vaccine anxiety: the state implements a planned vaccination system.

  Changchun Changsheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd. illegally produced rabies vaccine and other vaccine cases, which exposed loopholes and potential risks in the supervision of vaccine production and use, and caused continuous concern of public opinion.

  In order to dispel the public’s doubts and worries, the second draft of the Basic Medical Care and Health Promotion Law proposed that the state implements a planned vaccination system, and citizens have the right and obligation to receive the national immunization program vaccine according to law. Vaccines used for vaccination should be produced in strict accordance with good manufacturing practice, meet the national drug standards, and ensure safety and effectiveness.

  The second draft of the draft also proposed that the state should implement a vaccination certificate system for children. When children enter nursery schools, nursery institutions and schools shall examine vaccination certificates, and if they find that they have not been inoculated according to the national immunization plan, they shall report according to law, and cooperate with relevant units to urge their guardians to replant in time after children enter nursery schools and schools.

  Deng Yong believes that raising some contents of vaccine-related administrative regulations and rules into law can realize the scientificity, completeness and rationality of legislation; Defining the responsibilities of all parties in the process of vaccine use in law will also help to avoid the occurrence of vaccine fraud and adverse reactions.

  The reporter learned that the revised draft of the Drug Administration Law, which was submitted to the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) for deliberation for the first time a few days ago, also listed separate provisions to strengthen the supervision of vaccines and other special drugs. For example, in the process of vaccine development, production, circulation and vaccination, information technology should be used to collect and retain traceability information. The holder of the marketing license of the vaccine shall be insured in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state.

  Vaccines are involved in many places in the revised draft of the Drug Administration Law. For example, vaccines, blood products, narcotic drugs, psychotropic drugs, and toxic drugs for medical use may not be commissioned for production, except in cases where the drug supervision and administration department of the State Council stipulates that the production can be commissioned. The pharmaceutical supervisory and administrative department shall focus on supervision and inspection of biological products such as vaccines. In addition, the revised draft comprehensively increases penalties, and clarifies that six types of illegal acts, such as the production and sale of vaccines belonging to counterfeit drugs and inferior drugs, will be severely punished within the statutory scope.

The brand-new family-style design sector M8 is expected to be listed in 2025.

A few days ago, Chezhi. com learned from relevant channels that HarmonyOS Zhixing will launch a variety of new cars in 2025, including the M8 that has already exposed the patent application map. It is reported that the new car will be unveiled before the end of the year, and the official listing and delivery time will wait until 2025.

The brand-new family-style design sector M8 is expected to be listed in 2025.

The brand-new family-style design sector M8 is expected to be listed in 2025.

In terms of appearance, it is not difficult to see through the declaration map that the new car will provide two front face designs to choose from. Among them, the first patent application scheme adopts ring lamp group; The second declaration scheme is a relatively traditional through-lamp group design. The overall outline is close to the M9 style of the world, creating a relatively strong gas field. In detail, the top of the vehicle in both declaration schemes is equipped with lidar.

The brand-new family-style design sector M8 is expected to be listed in 2025.

The vehicle side transition is relatively straight and regular, which is conducive to improving the utilization of the interior space. Presumably, it is expected to adopt 6-seat and 7-seat layouts. By naming, it is not difficult to see that the product positioning of the new car will be between M7 and M9.

The brand-new family-style design sector M8 is expected to be listed in 2025.

At present, 3D renderings based on patent application drawings have also spread on the Internet. Although there are few details, the overall outline and highlight design are basically displayed. It is rumored that the M8 will lead a new generation of family-style design language. Compared with the two SUV models owned by HarmonyOS Zhixing, the visual perception is more scientific and luxurious.

The brand-new family-style design sector M8 is expected to be listed in 2025.

Interior spy photos do not have too much reference significance, because of the high degree of camouflage, it is difficult to see the specific design details. The M8 will continue to be equipped with the extended range power system, but the specific parameters have not been announced yet. For more news about the new car, the car quality network will continue to pay attention to and report.

Science and technology innovation board Shouyao Holdings’ revenue in the first quarter was only 707 yuan, which was suspected to come from the company selling second-hand incubators.

  On April 28th, the first quarterly report of 2022 released by Shouyao Holdings recently triggered a heated discussion, in which the operating income was only 707 yuan, down 99.98% year-on-year. Some investors teased whether the unit "10,000 yuan" was misspelled. Yinshi Finance reporter noticed that there was market news that the staff suspected of holding the first drug revealed in a pharmaceutical industry exchange group that the above income was "selling a second-hand incubator". Regarding the above-mentioned news about the sale of incubators, the relevant person of the Securities Department of Shouyi Holding told reporters that the specific business situation will be verified with the Finance Department, which may indeed be like the news that the reporter saw. At the same time, it said that the company is mainly engaged in the research and development of new drugs, including anticancer drugs and type II diabetes. At present, the fastest product is clinical phase II/III, and there are no commercial products approved for listing. At present, the company does not have main income. I hope that everyone will pay more attention to the company’s research and development progress. The reporter learned from the industry that pharmaceutical companies are in a special situation. Article 5 of the science and technology innovation board Listing Standard allows pharmaceutical companies to declare IPOs when their core products enter the second phase of clinical trials. Therefore, it is not uncommon for products to be commercialized and their revenues to be low. (Yinshi Finance)

  Shouyao Holdings released its first quarterly report after listing: its revenue in a single quarter was 708 yuan, and its market value was less than 3 billion yuan.

  On April 27th, Shouyao Holdings -U(688197,SH) (hereinafter referred to as Shouyao Holdings) released its first quarterly report after listing. In the first quarter of this year, the company’s revenue was only 707.96 yuan and its net profit loss was 50.6623 million yuan. The listed companies’ revenue less than that of 1000 yuan in a single quarter also triggered a heated discussion among investors.

  However, there are indeed special reasons for Shouyao Holdings to hand over such transcripts. Up to now, the company’s products are in the research and development stage, and there are no drugs approved for marketing. However, on the other hand, the lack of performance support makes it difficult for the share price of Shouyao Holdings to perform well. On the face of it, the company’s share price broke on the day of listing and has continued to fall since then. Up to now, the total market value of the company’s shares has been less than 3 billion yuan, which is different from the "estimated market value of not less than 4 billion yuan" required by the fifth set of listing standards in science and technology innovation board.

  Single-quarter loss expansion

  According to the first quarterly report of Shouyao Holdings in 2022, the company achieved a revenue of 7.0796 yuan, down 99.98% year-on-year, and a net profit loss of 50.6623 million yuan. In the first quarter, the company’s R&D investment totaled 46.1181 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 40.40%. In the first quarter of last year, the revenue of Shouyao Holdings was 4 million yuan and the net profit loss was 34.6864 million yuan. In the second, third and fourth quarters of last year, the company’s net profit lost 34.9066 million yuan, 34.323 million yuan and 41.0053 million yuan respectively. In contrast, the company’s losses in the first quarter of this year have expanded.

  Previously, Shouyao Holdings stated in the listing announcement that, in combination with the actual operating conditions, it is estimated that the company will realize an operating income of 0,000 yuan to 2 million yuan from January to March, which is mainly affected by factors such as the progress of cooperative drug research and development; With the increase of R&D investment, it is estimated that the company will still be in a loss state from January to March, with a net profit of-50 million yuan to-30 million yuan. The actual performance of the company in the first quarter is basically in line with the above forecast.

  "Where did you earn 707.96 yuan? Sell waste paper and old office furniture? " "The revenue is not enough for my utilities" and "Will this quarterly report be a bit too ridiculous" … Investors in the stock bar have some complaints about this.

  For the sharp decline in performance in the first quarter of this year, listed companies said that the company’s revenue from drug cooperative development has not yet reached the settlement period during the reporting period, and the revenue from drug cooperative development has not been confirmed in this period, a decrease of 4 million yuan compared with the same period of last year.

  On the afternoon of April 28th, the reporter of national business daily called the Secretary-General’s Office of Shouyao Holdings. Relevant persons said that at present, the company is still in the research and development stage, and there is no real product listing and commercial sales, which makes the company not form a large-scale revenue.

  Shouyao Holdings is a small molecule innovative drug company in the clinical research stage, and its research and development pipeline covers key tumor indications such as non-small cell lung cancer, lymphoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer, ovarian cancer, leukemia and other important disease fields such as type II diabetes. Previously, the company also clearly stated in the prospectus: "At present, the company has no products listed, and there is no drug sales revenue, and there is still great uncertainty about whether and when the products can be listed. The company will not be able to generate product sales revenue in a certain period of time in the future."

  It is reported that the core products SY-707 and SY-3505 of Shouyao Holdings are ALK (anaplasticlymphomakinase) inhibitors; Among them, SY-707 belongs to the second generation ALK kinase small molecule inhibitor, which has been approved by National Medical Products Administration Drug Evaluation Center, and can apply for conditional approval for marketing after the results of Phase II clinical trials reach expectations.

  For the research and development progress of the company’s products, the above-mentioned people of Shouyi Holdings believe that the progress of new drug research and development cannot give a clear timetable, after all, it is accompanied by greater research and development risks; However, the company will disclose the R&D progress at the corresponding time node according to the relevant requirements of science and technology innovation board.

  The market value has shrunk significantly.

  It is worth mentioning that Shouyao Holdings was not listed by virtue of its performance conditions. "The company is an innovative drug research and development enterprise that applies the fifth set of listing standards." The company once said so. The fifth set of listing standards in science and technology innovation board is: "The estimated market value is not less than 4 billion yuan, and the main business or products need to be approved by the relevant state departments, with a large market space. At present, it has achieved phased results and obtained a certain amount of investment from well-known investment institutions. Enterprises in the pharmaceutical industry need to obtain at least one second-phase clinical trial approval for a first-class new drug, and other enterprises that meet the positioning of science and technology innovation board need to have obvious technical advantages and meet the corresponding conditions. "

  Judging from the short-term performance of the first drug holding stock after listing, the company has drifted away from the market value of 4 billion yuan.

  In March this year, Shouyao Holdings completed the listing and issuance, and the company issued 37.18 million shares, with the issue price of 39.90 yuan per share, the total raised funds was 1.483 billion yuan, and the net raised funds was 1.374 billion yuan. On March 23rd, the company’s stock was officially listed in science and technology innovation board.

  However, the share price of Shouyao Holdings broke on the first day of listing, once rebounded to 35.98 yuan/share, and finally closed at 32.11 yuan/share. Since then, the company’s share price has also continued to decline. As of the close of April 28th, the company’s share price closed at 17.97 yuan/share, with a total market value of 2.672 billion yuan.

Long four, three, one arrow and two stars were successfully launched, and Shanghai landmark buildings appeared on the arrow body.

  At 6: 41 on March 10, 2023, the Long March-4 C-51 carrier rocket blasted off from Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center, and successfully put Tianhui-6 A/B star into the scheduled orbit with one arrow and two stars. The launch mission was a complete success.

  The Paper reporter learned from the Eighth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation that the Long March 4 C carrier rocket carrying out this launch mission is a three-stage liquid carrier rocket at room temperature developed by the Eighth Academy. According to different types of satellites, the Long March 4 rocket can adopt flexible launch schemes, and has the ability to launch various types of satellites with different orbital requirements. It can launch one arrow, one satellite or multiple satellites, and its solar synchronous circular orbit carrying capacity can reach 3 tons (orbital height is 700 kilometers). The satellite launched this time was developed by Dongfanghong Satellite Co., Ltd., which belongs to the Fifth Academy.

  Transshipment of canopy assembly

  This launch is the first launch mission in the field of transportation in the Eighth Hospital after the Spring Festival, and it is also the first flight of Chang-4 model with attitude control and full redundancy design. In order to complete the task under the current high-density launch situation with higher quality and efficiency, Chang-4 model upgraded the attitude control engine products from the aspects of manufacturability, reliability and safety, and at the same time realized the redundancy of three-channel attitude control actuators in the nonlinear section, and the reliability was further improved.

  Taiyuan in March is experiencing a late spring cold, and the lowest temperature once reached -21℃. With the strong cooperation of the launch site, the model test team has done a good job in thermal insulation measures for the arrow body and staff by sealing the bottom tower, increasing the air supply temperature, and sticking thermal insulation layers on the fairing and transition cabin.

  For the first time, the model characteristic logo was published on the body of this rocket. One horizontal arrow is a landmark building in Shanghai, representing the birthplace of the rocket.

  It is worth mentioning that the model characteristic logo is also disclosed for the first time on the arrow body of this invention, and the Arabic numeral "4" full of design sense shows the unique imprint of this gold medal rocket. Among them, yiheng is a landmark building in Shanghai, representing the birthplace of rockets; A vertical outline of the shape of the Changsi rocket; The two are connected by a beautiful three-stage trajectory of the Changsi rocket, which represents the characteristics of the model three-stage rocket; The two stars represent the honor that Changsi model won the national special prize for scientific and technological progress twice.

  This launch is the 97th launch of cz-4, the 183rd launch of the Long March series of launch vehicles developed by the Eighth Academy, and the 465th launch of the Long March series of launch vehicles.

Is this neighboring country going to "change its face" towards China? The truth is far from simple …

  Reference News Network reported on May 29 (Text/Liu Tong Rui Sike)The old horse finally made a move, and even burned two fires.

  According to Singapore’s Lianhe Zaobao on the 28th, newly elected Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir confirmed on the same day that the Malaysian government had decided to terminate the high-speed rail plan from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore.

  A few days ago, Mahathir just announced that he would reassess the East Coast Railway Project.

Mahathir

  Coincidentally, these two projects led by the former Malaysian government have one thing in common — — Are related to enterprises in China:

  The East Coast Railway Project was undertaken by China Jiaojian, with loans mainly provided by The Export-Import Bank of China. One of the strong bidders for Xinlong High-speed Railway is also from China.

  As a result, this "coincidence" has become a new "evidence" for some foreign media to speculate on "Malaysia’s China policy turn" in recent days.

  But is this really the case?

  I believe that after reading this tweet, you will have your own answer.

  The Malaysian political situation has changed, and the China project has been "lying down"

  "This is the final decision." At the press conference held on the 28th to announce the decision to terminate the Xinlong high-speed rail project, Mahathir said categorically.

  The reason he gave was that the project "can’t bring us a penny of income".

Mahathir at the press conference

  Lianhe Zaobao said that Singapore and Malaysia signed a bilateral agreement on Xinlong high-speed rail in Kuala Lumpur on December 13, 2016. If Malaysia defaults, it must pay a huge sum of money.

  As the name implies, the Xinlong high-speed railway will connect Singapore with Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with a total length of 350 kilometers. Before being stopped, the project bidding has not yet ended. If it is completed, it will only take 1 hour and 30 minutes for passengers to travel between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore by high-speed train.

  Although the specific cost amount of Xinlong High-speed Railway has never been disclosed, Bloomberg pointed out in a report on the 28th that Mahathir claimed to stop the project to avoid "bankruptcy" of the country because of too much investment and too little income.

  It is reported that Mahathir said that he would renegotiate the East Coast Railway Project with China for the same reason.

Bloomberg report screenshot

  As the largest project currently under construction in Malaysia, the East Coast Railway Project has a total length of 688 kilometers and a cost of 13.8 billion US dollars. It crosses the Malay Peninsula and connects Kuala Lumpur with Kelantan in the north. The groundbreaking ceremony of the project was held in August last year, and the construction period is expected to be from 2017 to 2024.

  Reuters quoted Mahathir as saying that Malaysia is expected to reduce nearly one-fifth of its $250 billion national debt and debt by canceling large-scale projects.

  At the same time, foreign media pointed out that Mahathir’s move was directed at former Prime Minister Najib — — After being sworn in, Mahathir immediately ordered a re-investigation of Najib’s "one horse case". Previously, Najib was accused of misappropriating funds from Yima Company.

  According to the analysis of Nikkei Chinese Network on 16th, Mahathir’s background of accelerating the investigation of Najib’s responsibility is that he hopes to maintain people’s expectations of the new regime by quickly responding to the corruption problem with strong national dissatisfaction, so as to push the regime operation onto the track.

  However, whether it is to reduce the national debt or to start the first shot of anti-corruption, in the eyes of individual foreign media, these reasons do not seem important.

  As reported by CNBC on May 10th, USA, it was very definitely announced that the Malaysian election results were shocking and the China project would be affected.

  The report also quoted a Japanese economist as saying that it was "not surprising" that the China project was affected.

Concept map of Xinlong high-speed railway station

  Yesterday, Mahathir’s latest statement made foreign media once again speculate on the fate of the China project.

  Even the Xinlong High-speed Railway, whose bidding has not yet ended, has been directly classified as "China Project".

  "Mahathir stopped the high-speed rail plan and the impact involved China." The Nikkei Chinese website reported on this topic on the 29th. You know, Japan was one of the most promising countries to win the bid for the Xinlong high-speed railway.

  Compared with the anxiety of Japan and Singapore, Mahathir’s position on China is very clear — —

  While foreign media have expressed concern about the situation of China project in Malaysia and even the relationship between China and Malaysia, in fact, the situation of the other two countries may be more worthy of "concern".

  They are the other two protagonists in the Xinlong high-speed rail project — — Singapore and Japan.

  The website of Japan Times reported on the 29th that Mahathir’s decision shocked the Singapore government, and Singapore was observing the impact of Mahathir’s return to politics on the country.

  In order to win the Xinlong high-speed rail project, Japan has been working hard for several years. Not only did 10 companies form an enterprise alliance to bid, but the Japanese government-enterprise joint venture fund "Overseas Transportation and Urban Development Support Agency" also provided support. Once the project is terminated, the impact on Japan can be imagined.

  Compared with the "uncertainty" faced by Singapore and Japan after Mahathir took office, Mahathir’s recent statements to China seem to be much clearer.

  After being sworn in on May 10th, Mahathir immediately sent the clearest signal about China policy, saying that Kuala Lumpur would continue to consolidate friendly relations with Beijing and support the Belt and Road Initiative.

  On 24th, Mahathir met with China’s Ambassador to Malaysia during the day, and said that welcomes Malaysian enterprises to invest in Malaysia, so as to push forward the cooperation between the two countries, and expressed the expectation of visiting China again.

On the morning of May 24th, Mahathir met with the daytime ambassador.

  According to the analysis of this meeting, the website of Nihon Keizai Shimbun believes that Mahathir has adjusted his attitude towards specific projects in China based on various considerations, but this does not mean that Malaysia is prepared to cool its economic relations with China. Because "the Prime Minister has admitted that Beijing is too important".

  At today’s (29th) afternoon press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, spokesperson Hua Chunying also answered Mahathir’s decision on the China project: We have noticed the statement made by the new Malaysian government on the Xinlong high-speed railway, and believe that Malaysia and Singapore can resolve it through consultation.

  "As for the projects you mentioned that may have an impact on China’s interests, China has always carried out economic, trade and investment cooperation with other countries, including Malaysia, on the principle of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation. As friendly neighbors, China and Malaysia have always maintained close economic, trade and investment cooperation relations, which have brought tangible benefits to the two peoples. We are willing to continue to maintain close cooperation with Malaysia. " Hua Chunying said.

  Malaysia "changed face"? Another country has given the answer — —

  In fact, whether the China project in Malaysia and even China-Malaysia relations have "changed" this time may have been explained by the previous experience of a South Asian country.

  It is Sri Lanka.

  "In 2015, the Sri Lankan government changed. After the new government took office, a series of large projects were stopped or retried. Sri Lankan experience shows that this political change in Malaysia may affect China’s major projects in Malaysia. " In the report on the 24th, the American Fair Observer made a prediction with Sri Lanka as an example.

  In fact, Mahathir himself has publicly mentioned Sri Lanka many times before and issued an appeal: "Don’t let Malaysia become the next Sri Lanka"!

  But for those who have been resident in Sri Lanka,Sharp referenceAs far as journalists are concerned, Mahathir’s move may be a repetition of some unwise practices in the early days when the new Sri Lankan government took office in 2015.

  XiaoruiI still clearly remember that after the new Sri Lankan government came to power in January 2015, a number of China projects were quickly stopped and re-examined on the grounds of safeguarding national interests, among which the port city project with China’s investment of US$ 1.4 billion in Sri Lanka attracted the most attention.

  However, the following facts soon taught those who "enjoyed" the frustration of Sino-Sri Lankan relations a lesson: after many large projects were stopped, Sri Lanka’s economy was in trouble at an eye-catching speed, the unemployment rate increased, and the people’s lives were hard. The new government had to adjust its thinking again and seize the opportunity of China’s "Belt and Road Initiative". One year later, in March 2016, the port city re-signed the agreement and resumed construction.

  At present,XiaoruiIt is learned that the port city project is in full swing, and the land reclamation has been completed for more than 2.2 million square meters. In addition, China and Sri Lanka have started to attract investment for the port city, and the development prospect of the project is very optimistic.

  In addition, the performance of Hanport mentioned by Mahathir many times has improved only half a year after it was handed over to the Chinese side for operation. Even the Indian media, which has always been very critical of China’s projects in Sri Lanka, have to change their mouths and admit: "The port of Hambantota built in China is not useless."

Hambantota port

  According to the Indian Citizen Network reported on May 26th, after the handover, Hangang attracted more and more cargo ships. The achievements of port management in the past year have been achieved in four months. As of April, 132 cargo ships have arrived at the port this year, compared with 202 last year.

  "China is sincerely willing to help improve Sri Lanka’s economy. With their help, I have no doubt that Sri Lanka will become better in the near future." Malik Samarawickrama, Minister of International Trade of Sri Lanka, said this.

  "There is no reason to worry about China-Malaysia relations because they need each other." Hong Kong’s "South China Morning Post" pointed out this in a report on the 28th.

  According to the report, even though Mahathir Mohamud has sent contradictory signals about the future of the China project, the consensus on the value of the relationship between China and Malaysia has come to an end: the relationship between China and Malaysia does not need to be changed, and the development of Malaysia needs China’s investment and infrastructure construction, which is also an important part of the Belt and Road Initiative.

Folk custom welcomes the Spring Festival | The correct way to open New Year’s Eve.

  Young people are known as ripe crops, and they are ripe every year, so they think they are old names.

  New Year’s Eve is extremely important for Chinese. People who have been busy for a year have ushered in the reunion of their loved ones on this day, and at the same time, they are eating a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner and having a happy family.

  New Year’s Eve, also known as New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Eve and Big Dark Day, is the last night of the lunar year, that is, the night before the Spring Festival. Because New Year’s Eve often falls on the 29th or 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, it is also called New Year’s Eve. In 2024, New Year’s Eve falls on February 9th, and the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month is the last day of the lunar year.

  Hundred years first, four seasons spring first. "New Year’s Eve" means that the old year will be removed this evening, and the new year will be replaced tomorrow. According to "Lu’s Winter in Spring and Autumn", the ancients used drums to drive away the "ghost of plague" on the day before the New Year, which is the origin of the "New Year’s Eve" festival. It is said that the earliest mention of the name "New Year’s Eve" is the historical records such as "Local Customs" written by Zhou Chu in the Western Jin Dynasty.

Chengdu 42-year-old hot mom achieves marathon grand slam dream (photos)

  Huaxi Dushi Bao reporter Luo Qin photography Chen Yuxiao

  42.195 kilometers, this is the whole distance of a marathon. Do you have the courage to challenge? Many people don’t know that in Chengdu, a woman who is over 40 and is the mother of two children has achieved the World Marathon Grand Slam — — Dream of the world’s top marathon tour.

  Her name is Ding Yan. From September 27th, 2015 to April 24th, 2016, she participated in Chicago Marathon, New York Marathon, Tokyo International Marathon, Boston International Marathon and London International Marathon.

  On May 29th, 2016, Ding Yan won the six-star medal of "World Marathon Grand Slam" in Jeju Island, making her the third woman in China and the first woman in Sichuan to finish the World Marathon Grand Slam.

  On August 8, in a cafe in Chengdu, Ding Yan, smiling, accepted an interview with a reporter from Huaxi Dushi Bao. The topic of the day actually started from the parent-child movement.

  attempt

  In order to make her son love sports, she led the whole family to ride and taste the sweetness.

  8 at 10 am, Chu Qing after the rain. Ding Yan, dressed in a black dress, sits in a corner of a cafe in Shuangnan, Chengdu. She carries with her a few thick albums, which are full of stories and experiences about her family’s cycling trips and her marathon at home and abroad for many years.

  "Actually, my contact with running and marathon was very accidental. It can be said that it was for my son at first." As soon as she sat down, Ding Yan opened the chatterbox. Although we met for the second time, this cheerful, warm and generous woman was not unfamiliar and restrained when chatting. She even opened the snacks with her and put them on the plate on the table.

  Born in 1974, Ding Yan worked in engineering budget. Because she was busy with her husband’s career, her son was always given to her grandmother when she was born. Because of her busy work, it is difficult for her to accompany her children often, and she always feels guilty in her heart.

  In 2012, Ding Yan and her husband’s career had already been on the right track. When she saw her son who was only a junior but was over 1.7 meters tall, she figured that it would be better to take her son to participate in parent-child sports, which would not only exercise, but also temper the will of the doll. Mother and son could also exchange emotions and enhance understanding.

  In that summer vacation, Ding Yan took her son to join the parent-child cycling team organized by friends. A group of more than 20 people are parents with dolls. Everyone started from Beijing and rode all the way to Yantai, Shandong, covering more than 900 kilometers and taking more than 10 days.

  "In the first day or two, the doll complained bitterly and had a heavy negative mood," Ding Yan recalled, but seeing other children of the same age or younger in the team riding with heavy loads, his son’s competitiveness was aroused, and in the following days, he gradually found the feeling, and the more he rode, the more interested he became. Finally, the group arrived at their destination safely and smoothly.

  In this way, Ding Yan and her son fell in love with cycling. In the Spring Festival of 2013, mother and son and their riders went cycling in Sri Lanka. In the Spring Festival of 2014, Ding Yan’s son and the same group of riders went to Sri Lanka again. "Dolls who fall in love with sports have different spirits." Ding Yan said that his son has changed a lot, his body is stronger, and he is more generous with strangers.

  It’s not just her son who changed. Ding Yan also fell in love with sports in this process, and gradually tasted the sweetness — — She found herself in good shape and lost weight, and all her friends thought she was much younger.

  In the summer vacation of 2014, Ding Yan took her husband and son to the UK. After a 21-day cycling, she felt that cycling could no longer satisfy her. "We should find a sport that can be adhered to for a long time and make sports a habit."

  fascinated

  It is a pleasure for her to fall in love with running marathon in her late 40 s

  Under the introduction of a friend, Ding Yan joined a running friend group in Chengdu. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, she will meet with her running friends in Jincheng Lake and run in the night.

  Through the running friends team, Ding Yan met Ha Ge, a well-known outdoor sports enthusiast in Chengdu. This opened a new door for her who became a monk halfway and fell in love with running when she was nearly 40 years old.

  "At that time, I realized that running requires professional knowledge, and I also learned about marathon running for the first time." In Ding Yan’s view, the marathon is a professional athlete’s business, and she never thought that she could participate. Under the "fudge" of Hage, she learned that the threshold of marathon is not high, and she only needs to persist in training to have opportunities, and signing up for marathon can also make her usual running training more motivated.

  On November 9, 2014, the Xichang Marathon Half Race was Ding Yan’s first marathon. It took less than two months from registration to competition, but with the encouragement of runners, Ding Yan, who can usually run for 12 kilometers without stopping, successfully completed the half-horse. On November 29th, Ding Yan participated in the Chengdu Xinchuan Cup Half Marathon Charity Run. In January 2015, Ding Yan ushered in the first all-horse in her life — — Xiamen International Marathon finished in 4 hours and 19 minutes.

  Japan Kyoto Marathon, Hong Kong Lantau Cross Country Race, Chongqing International Marathon, Dujiangyan Double Heritage Marathon, Beijing International Marathon, Sweden Gothenburg Half Marathon and Singapore Sunset Marathon. From March to July, 2015, Ding Yan participated in and completed the above events in less than half a year. She fell in love with the marathon like a demon. In the eyes of ordinary people, the marathon is very boring and tests endurance and perseverance. In her eyes, every second is enjoyment.

  challenge

  Test the Water Berlin Marathon and Start the Six Grand Slam Marathon Tour.

  The more you run, the more you love it. The more you run, the more obsessed you are. Ding Yan’s love for marathon has gradually become fanatical. Through the introduction of runners, she came up with the idea of challenging the world’s top marathons, and with the help of professional organizations, she signed up for the Berlin Marathon in Germany and started the six Grand Slam marathons in the world.

  On September 27th, 2015, just seven days after running the Beijing International Marathon, Ding Yan stood behind the Brandenburg Gate, the starting point of the Berlin Marathon. With the cheers and cheers of people on both sides of the track, she took a step and began to run rhythmically. She ran well in the first half, but when she reached 23 kilometers, she felt more and more laborious, her pace became heavy and her speed became slower and slower.

  In this way, when she struggled to run for about 28 kilometers, an old woman with silver hair and a cross-country water bag appeared in front of her. "The old man’s pace is even and his breathing is very rhythmic. Driven by her, I adjusted my breathing rhythm and started running again." Ding Yan said that on the way, she communicated with her grandmother in simple English. I learned that this old man named Georgie Hamilton is from London, England, and her daughter lives in Berlin. Her job is to coach the European celebrity swimming competition.

  Running 38 kilometers away, just beside the hotel, Ding Yan kept searching among the audience on the roadside, hoping that her relatives would appear in front of her. There seems to be telepathy, and she soon saw her little daughter and her family Xiaomei in the crowd. She stopped to approach her daughter, and the mother and daughter gave a deep hug. The 4-year-old daughter was so excited that she held her mother and refused to let go.

  "I really want to run the whole course with my daughter, but there are still more than 4 kilometers to reach the finish line. I really have no physical strength." Ding Yan reluctantly gave her daughter to her family, continued to return to the team, and rushed to the finish line, and finally completed the first show of the six Grand Slam marathons in 4 hours, 29 minutes and 01 seconds.

  achievement

  The British old lady who finished six Grand Slams became her inspirational role model.

  On October 11, 2015, the Chicago Marathon was held in the United States. With the cheers of enthusiastic people along the way, Ding Yan successfully ran through the finish line, and the result was fixed at 4 hours, 35 minutes and 24 seconds. On November 1st, she completed the New York Marathon in 4 hours, 34 minutes and 20 seconds.

  In February 2016, Ding Yan ushered in the fourth stop of her Grand Slam — — Tokyo International Marathon, Japan. She made up her mind that she couldn’t leave her regret because of injury. It was also at this stop that she set the goal of running the world’s six Grand Slam marathons within one year.

  Because there were many broken roads near the finish line, she had to walk and run, and when the finish line appeared in front of her, she couldn’t help but wet her eyes with tears.

  On April 18th and 24th, 2016, Ding Yan completed the Boston International Marathon and the London International Marathon, respectively, and completed her dream of running the six Grand Slam marathons in the world. It is worth mentioning that in London, she reunited with the old British lady Georgie Hamilton. This old man who still loves sports has become Ding Yan’s idol and role model.

  has some knowledge of

  World Marathon Grand Slam

  There are four Grand Slams in tennis and six Grand Slams in marathon. The World Marathon Grand Slam is the world’s top marathon tour. It was established in 2006, including the five most influential marathons in the world, including London, Berlin and Boston, Chicago and new york. Since 2013, the Tokyo Marathon has been added.

  thoughts expressed in words

  Won the "Grand Slam" six-star medal.

  The marathon will not stop.

  On May 29th, 2016, in Jeju Island, South Korea, Ding Yan received her own "World Marathon Grand Slam" six-star medal. It is understood that only runners who have completed the "World Marathon Grand Slam" can get this six-star medal by applying to the World Marathon Grand Slam organization and verifying it. On the same day, Ding Yan’s husband and children in China were not idle. They participated in the parent-child run in Chengdu Jincheng Lake, and their daughter also showed her father how to warm up before running. She said that these were all learned while running with her mother.

  Nowadays, Ding Yan’s life is inseparable from running. She took her family to love sports and enriched her life. She said with a smile that she was busy with her career, and she was very insecure when she got fat. She even avoided taking pictures. Later, she fell in love with running, and her body was healthy. People were more sunny and cheerful, and so were children. She loved sports at an early age. My 5-year-old daughter, my 16-year-old son and her busy husband will follow her to exercise and run whenever they have time.

  "My marathon trip will not stop. I have planned the Chicago Marathon in October this year and the Hawaii Marathon in December. Achievements are not important. Thanks to sports, I am closer to my family and my life is richer and more fun. " Speaking of her fate with the marathon, Ding Yan is still unfinished.

Baidu’s end-to-end speech language model is broken, the dialogue is super realistic, the cost is reduced by 90% at the highest, and the response is extremely fast in one second.

Voice interaction has been played with new tricks? !

Wisdom reported on April 2nd that on Monday, Baidu released the industry’s first end-to-end speech language model based on new Cross-Attention, which has been launched online for free.

Summarize the newly upgraded essays with several key words: voice interaction.Ultra-realistic, ultra-low delay and ultra-low cost.

Super-fidelity refers to the fact that Wen Xiaoyan, equipped with a large phonetic language model, can understand Chongqing, Guangxi, Henan, Guangdong, Shandong and so onCharacteristic dialect can also realize emotional dialogue.; Ultra-low latency means that the waiting time of users can be reduced from the common 3-5 seconds in the industry toAbout 1 second, almost the same as talking to real people; Ultra-low cost means that in the voice question-and-answer scenario of telephone voice channel, the call cost is about lower than the industry average.50%-90%。

Jia Lei, chief architect of Baidu Voice, revealed that the model can be deployed on L20 card, and under the condition of meeting the delay requirement of voice interaction,The concurrency of dual L20 cards can be more than several hundred.. At present, the training process of speech language model is convenient, which can be realized by optimizing hundreds of cards in one week based on Wenxin model, and the optimization work itself is not complicated.

Compared with the application of big model in voice interaction scene, what is the uniqueness of this big model of voice language? How to reduce the call cost to 90% at the highest? How to interpret the innovation behind it? Zhi Dongxi had an in-depth exchange with Jia Lei, chief architect of Baidu Voice, trying to find the answers to these questions.

First, the real-life dialogue experience, the upgraded version of the text Xiaoyan voice interaction is more silky

The development of large-scale model in voice interaction scene is evolving towards a more natural, low-delay and highly realistic voice interaction experience. And this more anthropomorphic interactive experience, we get a glimpse of the embryonic form in the newly upgraded Wen Xiaoyan, which is equipped with an end-to-end phonetic language model and has become an emotional companion and all-round assistant.

First of all, Wen Xiaoyan has integrated information query including weather query, calendar query, unit conversion, stock price and so on.38 vertical assistantsIt can be seen that the efficiency of voice interaction is much higher than that of text interaction in these special scenarios.

Secondly, Wen Xiaoyan is rightProblems of timeliness and non-timelinessCan cope with encyclopedic inquiry, timely question and answer content of current political knowledge, and Wen Xiaoyan can search in real time, and follow the instructions accurately to reduce hallucinations; Non-timeliness issues such as common sense questions and answers are not a problem.

Finally, it is also the biggest difference between voice interaction and text. Wen Xiaoyan can be carried out with users.Emotional and natural communication, and can respond to feedback quickly, and realize realistic and anthropomorphic interaction effect.

Not much to say, let’s take a look at the actual effect of Wen Xiaoyan.

A major difficulty in speech recognition is dialect recognition. The pronunciation characteristics of dialects are rich and varied. The same dialect may have different pronunciations in different regions, and even the same word may have different pronunciations in different contexts. This makes it difficult for speech recognition system to accurately capture and analyze all pronunciation variants, which increases the difficulty of recognition. At present, Wen Xiaoyan has been able to deal with the characteristic dialects in Chongqing, Guangxi, Henan, Guangdong and Shandong. He can not only understand them, but also reply with the corresponding dialects.

Another major feature of voice communication is the need for multiple rounds of interaction. For example, in the following example, Wen Xiaoyan not only gives a method to distinguish budgerigars from different dimensions of adulthood and childhood, but also gives correct feedback in time when users interrupt to ask new questions.

Even if the reply contains many elements such as distinguishing the budgerigar’s sex and distinguishing from a certain fixed feature, Wen Xiaoyan gives a concise answer, and at the end reminds the user that he can record while observing.

In addition, human-computer interaction is often interrupted in the middle, such as the user gets the core information he wants or is not satisfied with the current output content, etc. When the user interrupts the voice playback to input, the voice recognition system may be mistaken because of environmental noise, unclear pronunciation of the user or confusion with the previous voice content.

In the face of children’s repeated interruptions, Wen Xiaoyan can accurately identify their needs of "changing a story", and when children say "Mom has already told it", they don’t automatically choose to change the story, but give an emotional reply in time to create an atmosphere of natural dialogue.

Wen Xiaoyan, an emotional interactive form, also extends its application to companion scenes in assistant scenes such as knowledge quiz. When the user mentioned "I’m in a bad mood", Wen Xiaoyan’s voice was worried and so on, and guided the user to tell the reason why he was in a bad mood and further enlighten him.

Second, brand-new cross-related attention, to create a very low training cost advantage

Different from the language model, the core difference of the phonetic language model is that it can produce emotion.

Jia Lei said that the text model only produces words, while the phonetic language model can have emotions. The key is two special links in the architectural diagram of the phonetic language model.TN Rhythm and Emotion Control of Personality and StyleThis is prepared for speech synthesis, which allows the big model to have the emotion of adapting the content while generating the answer, which is also the key innovation of Baidu’s end-to-end speech model.

Specifically, there are four key innovations.

First of all, this is released by Baidu.The industry’s first cross-modal speech language model based on Cross-Attention; The second is the model.Combining Encoder with speech recognition, the calculation of KV is reduced to 1/10.; The third isEncoder is combined with speech synthesis, and the output content can be controlled emotionally.; Finally,Efficient full query attention EALLQA, so that the KV cache is reduced to a few tenths.

On this basis, the model realizesIntegration of text recognition and text synthesis.On the basis of systematic end-to-end communication, these coupled technologies enable the model to realize a natural, realistic and emotional interactive experience on the basis of quick question and answer and quick understanding.

Jia Lei explained that the acoustic model is also a phonetic model, but usually large language models are connected by words. Therefore, in the process of integrating speech recognition and large language model, researchers share the process of Encoder and speech recognition in large language model to achieve the purpose of reducing the hard delay of speech interaction, and innovatively introduce cross-modal modeling, switching from Self-Attention to Cross-Attention, thus completing the integration of speech recognition and large language model.

Baidu proposes to use Cross-Attention to solve the cross-modal problem of speech and language. In this process, due to the speed limitation of the existing Attention technology in Cross-Attention speech language modeling, Baidu developed the EALLQA technology suitable for Cross-Attention, adopting implicit RNN two-level position coding, training MHA in 128 space, and inferring MQA in 512 space shared by all layers of the model, so as to achieveMake full use of limited training resources and reduce reasoning cost..

In the basic training of the model, Baidu uses self-distillation post-train the end-to-end speech language model of Cross-Attention based on the pre-training model of Self-Attention mature Wenxin language.

In fact,In speech model, the pressure of KV cache and KV calculation is much greater than that of text model.. Jia Lei explained that the essential difference between speech recognition and text model is that the first token at the beginning of a sentence determines the delay of speech recognition. For the large text model, users can wait for 2-3 seconds to give an answer after entering a paragraph of text, while in the large speech language model, users are less tolerant of reply delay, and they hope to hear the answer within 0.5-1 second.

On this basis, the end-to-end speech language model realizes low-cost training and low-cost high-speed reasoning. In addition, the speech language model also needs quick response and emotional response, which is the scene where another key technology is exerted.Streaming word-for-word LLM-driven multi-emotional speech synthesis. Jia Lei said that many rounds of continuous communication with emotion can make people want to continue communication.

Based on the streaming word-for-word method, its speech synthesis is to see one word jumping one word at a time, and the large model can help the speech synthesis to output the text normalized output, prosodic pause output and emotional output it needs, making the speech synthesis process flow like when people speak, and its adaptive emotional coverage can reach 17 kinds according to the text output.

In addition, there is a big pain point in speech recognition, which is that it can’t judge the starting point and ending point of the user’s speech, butLarge model blessing can make it analyze whether the user’s words have ended based on semantics.The semantics are incomplete and we need to wait.

Jia Lei further explained that,The activation of voice scenes requires extremely interactive cost, extremely fast delivery speed, intelligent and emotional humanized question and answer.. Baidu integrates speech recognition with large model to solve the problems of pre-fetching, hesitation, content understanding and quick question and answer, and integrates text synthesis with large model to output prosodic emotion needed in speech summation, thus solving the problems of context understanding and emotion control in synthesis. This makes the application potential of voice scene greatly improved.

Third, directly attack the difficulty of voice interaction, and enlarge Baidu’s end-to-end voice language model.

The continuous optimization of large model has significantly improved the robustness, naturalness and speaker similarity of speech, butThere are still many pain points in the previous technical path.This is why Baidu focuses on the end-to-end speech language model.

Compared with the communication between people, the response speed of large language model is slow, and users need to wait for a while to get a reply. In addition, voice communication is often accompanied by multiple rounds of dialogue and interaction, and it is extremely difficult for models to complete colloquial multiple rounds of interaction. Compared with texts, users use more scenes of voice interaction, and the surge of interaction will lead to the increase in the application cost of large-scale models, and the difficulty of large-scale application popularization will also increase.

On the traditional voice interaction route, it will be limited by the accurate response between contextual memory, noisy occasions, hesitant questions and interruptions.

Therefore, this has become a core contradiction in the field of voice interaction.The convenience of voice interaction determines its potential for large-scale application, and these pain points are hindering its popularization.Jia Lei believes that,The chemical reaction between speech and text is the key to find a breakthrough in a specific field in the future..

The appearance of phonetic language model is qualitative change, and its innovative synthesis technology makes the model not need to see the whole text of a sentence, but can synthesize a word by seeing the text of a word. On this basis, Baidu has excavated a unique application scenario. He gave an example. For example, when asking about the weather, users can quickly interrupt the next question when they get the temperature range of the weather. Its advantage is that the use cost of the model is greatly reduced, while the text model needs powerful hardware to achieve such efficient application, but the speech language model can achieve efficient concurrency with low-cost hardware.

At the same time, from the perspective of the whole voice interaction field, the accuracy of the speech recognition part of the large model has been greatly improved. Jia Lei believes that it is more a competition of speed, cost and answer accuracy.Cost reduction is the key to large-scale use of multimodal voice interaction..

Jia Lei said: "Cost reduction is the inevitable way of technological progress." The extremely low cost of Baidu’s speech language model means the possibility of large-scale industrialization. The landing application of AI is the core of the development of the model industry in 2025, and this model is the key to solving the speech problem.

Baidu’s accumulation in the field of speech recognition has a long history.

In 2018, the Deep Peak 2 model released by Baidu Voice broke through the traditional model that has been used for more than ten years, greatly improving the recognition accuracy in various scenarios. At the beginning of 2019, Baidu voice technology team announced the world’s first streaming multi-level truncated attention model SMLTA in the field of online voice, with a relative accuracy rate of 15%. In 2021, Baidu released the streaming truncated conformer modeling technology based on historical information abstraction-SMLTA 2, which solved the problems faced when the Transformer model was applied to online speech recognition tasks.

These technological innovations have been applied in many fields such as automobiles, consumer electronics and mobile phones. This time, in order to promote the large-scale application of speech language model, at present,Baidu has launched its online Xiaoyan and opened it for free, and plans to launch it on the open platform in April, and then it will be connected to call centers, speakers and other business lines..

Jia Lei mentioned: "Science may have national boundaries, but it has no corporate boundaries." Subsequently, Baidu opened the end-to-end speech language model, just to promote the application of the big language model in the speech field, which is conducive to the development of the whole industry and ecology.

Conclusion: Baidu’s phonetic language model is unsheathed, opening a new chapter with low cost and high efficiency.

Convenient, efficient, natural and friendly voice interaction, which is widely used in multiple scenes, is very important in the digital age. However, from the current actual effect, voice interaction has greatly improved in recognition accuracy, and now the competition focus of the industry is on its recognition speed, cost and accuracy of answers.

In this context, the release of Baidu’s end-to-end speech language model further broke through the cost, and proposed a new technical path, which pushed the industry competition of voice interaction to a new height. At the same time, Baidu will launch it on an open platform, which will accelerate the application and popularization of large models in voice interaction scenarios.
